Last night when I got off work I go out and start the 2 and the radio isnt working. The display is lit but no volume from the radio. After about a minute the volume comes on and everything is normal. It was below freezing and the car had been outside for about 8 and 1/2 hours.
Coincidence is a funny thing and the dealer calls today and tells me I can bring my car in for a new radio as I will be receiving a recall notice in the mail soon. I asked what the problem was and he tells me that they have been informed by Mazda that the radio can quit working during very cold temperatures!! He said we have not had any reports of the problem yet so I told him he did now and explained what happened to mine last night!!
My problem is I hate to think of them taking the dash apart to change the radio. It would be disappointing to end up with scratches or a rattle. Im tempted to just ask for the new stereo and to install it myself!
